Let’s See Then

Percy stood distraught as to what he had just let into his home. This was possibly the most wanted object in all of the world, and he was carrying it within his fingers. Percy thought about the consequences he could receive if he was caught with this corrupt contraption. He was quite possibly looking at jail time.

At this point, Percy realized something:

“If I’m going to get in trouble anyways, then what would be the harm in opening the box up and seeing what the fuss is all about?”

With that poor lapse in judgement, Percy did away with the protective packaging, and bore witness to the terrifying technology…

And it was exactly what the media said it was…

The box contained a helmet that looked as if it was ready to go on a bicycle ride. The collar wasn’t much to look at either. It was akin to a bulky piece of jewelry. If this was NeuroCo’s invention, then they really skimped out on the design.

In all honesty, Percy was very disappointed. He could literally wear the helmet around the neighborhood, and nobody would be the wiser. Just then, the gears started to spin in Percy’s head.

“Everybody is on the look for this helmet, so why not hide it in plain sight? I do need the exercise anyways…” Percy slipped the helmet on, knowing it wouldn’t do anything because nobody was wearing the collar. He then went to his garage, pulled out his bike, and left the vicinity of his home.

However, a few minutes after he left, somebody else entered his home liked they owned the place.

“Percy? Are you home?” Their voiced echoed.
